The Paper Variety Challenge #11!

The new challenge for this week over at The Paper Variety is a very exciting one!


Pretty neat right? ;) I was a little stumped at first about what I wanted to do, but then an idea popped into my head. I have a few empty Prima flower tins like this one...


I didn't want to throw away the containers after I took the flowers out (I store mine in jars), just in case I could use it for something later on. You know how us scrappers are, lol! :) Anyway, I decided to use it to make a gift tin...





Supplies: Basic Grey Paper - Wassail Snow Dust; Colorbox Chalk Ink - Chestnut Roan; Craft Smart Ink - Chocolate Brown; Adirondack Paint Dabber - Espresso; Ranger Stickles - Frosted Lace; American Crafts Glass Slipper Thickers; Prima Flower; Recollections Pearls; Making Memories Button; Twine

Isn't that just adorable?? Another cool thing is that I have some coasters that I bought at Michaels that fit perfectly inside! My plan is to make a mini album for a certain somebody (who reads my blog so I won't mention any names, lol!) and give it to her for Christmas inside the cute tin. I know she'll love it!! I'll be sure to share more pics once the album is done. :)

So what do you think you can create?? There are tons of possibilities for this challenge and I can't wait to see what everyone does! Make sure you link up your project by next Tuesday for a chance to win this awesome prize from ScrappyJo's...
